Sound Metaphors Mix Series 01 : David Fogarty

Robbert Heijnen kindly opened his archive to us allowing for a long overdue vinyl pressing of the tracks Integration and Adelaar. Both tracks which were produced with Debbie Jones stay true to the distinctive tribal acid house sound that eXquisite CORpsE is renowned for.

Alongside this we included the downtempo gem Possibility IV from his Enkidada alias and a deadly rework from Anatolian Weapons.

Skyark - When It Pours It Rains (Eternal Injection's Underwater Dub)

Berlin via Ireland, David has gained a cult following among well educated music fans via his label Transmigration. Following taste over hype along with careful art direction he’s been responsible for unearthing and reissuing some of the best psychedelic electronic
music from years gone by. 

More recently he’s expanded operations to include two new labels - Sacred Stones, an outlet for his own DJ edits; hand stamped and vinyl only as well Crystal Ceremony, a label dedicated to showcasing new talents from around the world. In addition to this he co-runs Sound Migration, a collaboration with Berlin institution Sound Metaphors.

Informed by his love for digging older music as well as his position as buyer for Sound Metaphors, his DJ sets are nostalgic, transcendental and futuristic. Effortlessly combining the best in new and old electronic music. This has seen him play across Berlin’s club
landscape, from the smallest basement clubs right up to the main floor of Berghain.

DJ Polywog - Frogs In The Fog (Eternal Injection's Spiral Swamp Dub)

Next up in our mix series is David Fogarty, the mind behind one of our favorite record labels; Transmigration. Born in Ireland, based in Berlin, David follows taste over hype along with careful art direction he’s been responsible for unearthing and reissuing some of the best psychedelic electronic music from the past three decades. David’s reach extends beyond Transmigration with Sacred Stones; a vinyl-only label for his own hand-stamped DJ edits, Crystal Ceremony; a platform dedicated to spotlighting emerging global talent, and Sound Migration; a joint venture with the iconic Sound Metaphors.

In this mix, David showcases his ability to blend nostalgia with futurism - mixing old-school pscyehdelia with contemporary functionalism - crafting a journey that’s as trippy as it is cohesive, filled with dynamic shifts in momentum, tension, and release.

System Beat - Vicious Rumours (Konsudd Remix)

@transmigration_records is a Berlin-based record label and archive dedicated to reissuing temporarily lost or forgotten psychedelic electronic music.

Founded in 2022 by Irish DJ David Fogarty, the label has since gathered momentum and recognition for breathing new life into niche catalogues – often forgotten ambient and trance records from the ’90s – through careful restoration and presentation to new audiences.

Like many of the best record labels, Transmigration’s output is reflective of what you might hear in one of David’s DJ sets. Drawing from a wide-ranging record collection, he occupies a unique space that blends the deeper ends of house, techno, and trance, in a way that appeals to both large audiences and hardcore music nerds alike.

We caught up with David to talk shop on the story behind Transmigrations, and what it’s like running an independent label in 2025.
